Santa Barbara History Comes to Life with New Kellam de Forest Speaker Series
The Pearl Chase Society Honors Legacy of Founding Member with New Educational Series
Pearl Chase, whose well-deserved reputation was acknowledged by the National Trust for Historic Preservation with its highest honor in 1973, was instrumental in the conservation of Santa Barbara’s beachfront and the historic Moreton Bay Fig Tree, as well as restoration of the Presidio.
Now the public has an opportunity to hear some of this history come to life as the Pearl Chase Society presents the Kellam de Forest Speaker Series, honoring the legacy of this founding member. The all-volunteer, nonprofit conservancy was established in 1995 and continues to advance the founding vision of Pearl Chase.
After de Forest’s passing, as generous donations in his name came to the Society, the board decided on the creation of an ongoing educational series, which they knew he would have endorsed enthusiastically.
